Two of Boris Johnson's senior aides become latest to quit posts

Two of Boris Johnson's senior aides have become the latest to quit their posts.

The Prime Minister's Principal Private Secretary, Martin Reynolds, and Chief of Staff, Dan Rosenfeld, have both resigned.

Martin Reynolds had previously invited aides to a BYOB party in the Downing Street garden in May 2020.

A No 10 spokesperson said: "Dan Rosenfield offered his resignation to the Prime Minister earlier today, which has been accepted.

“Martin Reynolds also informed the Prime Minister of his intention to stand down from his role as Principal Private Secretary and the Prime Minister has agreed to this.

“He has thanked them both for their significant contribution to government and No 10, including work on the pandemic response and economic recovery.

“They will continue in their roles while successors are appointed, and recruitment for both posts is underway."

A Downing Street source told the Mirror : "There’s meant to be an all-staff meeting tomorrow. Assuming there are still any staff."

It comes after spin doctor Jack Doyle and policy chief Munira Mirza also quit their posts earlier.

Mirza said she made the decision over the Prime Minister's use of a Jimmy Savile smear against Keir Starmer.
